I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that the only charity shop on Carnaby Street sells Chanel. Let's be honest, it was never going to be filled with Peacocks nighties and Monopoly sets missing half their pieces, was it? Armani, Chloe, Kate Spade... there are a lot of impressive labels here. The matching cream hangers don't even screech as I move them along the rails. They glide to the soul music coming out of the speakers.

SHOPPERS at one of the UK’s most-expensive charity shops can browse through racks of designer clothes, with some costing a whopping £500.

Labels such as Armani and Chanel hang on the railings at the high-end thrift shop.

The most expensive was a leather skirt by Chanel that will set you back a whopping £495

The budget-busting Mind store, nestled in London’s trendy Soho, even boasts a plush dressing room.

Luxury brands found at the charity shop, that supports mental health patients, is a world away from the usual M&S and Peacocks clobber in most stores of its type.

The London store had a £195 yellow jacket by Sies Marja for sale.

But the most expensive was a leather skirt by Chanel that will set you back a whopping £495, MyLondon reported.

The cheapest item in the racks was an £8 shirt dress in dark brown.

The changing room, normally a dusty old curtain with a dirty mirror, changes the game for charity shops.

Because this Mind store boasts pastel pink walls, a plush fluffy chair and even a coffee table.

Incredibly, a vinyl player and potted plant sits in the corner.

It is unclear what the target market for the extortionately priced charity shop is – but it certainly isn’t younger millennials.

It comes as a poll of 2,000 adults found those aged 25-34 are almost twice as likely to take action in their households to reduce monthly outgoings.
